The Quest for Immortality

Tao cultivation knowledge is power.

If you have an absolute advantage in the core mastery of the Formation, you can ”do as you please.”

Mo Hua eavesdropped on the conversations of other Demon Cultivation Disciples and got a general understanding.

Most Demon Cultivators really know nothing about the Yuan Magnetic Formation, let alone the deeper Thunder Magnetism Formation.

They believe that He Laoqi’s death was due to an insider leaking secrets, thus they are suspicious of each other, hearts full of fear and unrest.

”No one suspects me,” Mo Hua’s eyes flickered slightly, ”then...”

”Try killing two more!”

After that, Mo Hua continued monitoring and searching for clues, and he finally found two Golden Core Demon Cultivators.

Digging for information from within is still quite easy.

Unless the Demon Cultivators do nothing, they will surely reveal their true colors.

These two Golden Cores, one ranked tenth, the other sixth, are referred to as ”Elder Xie” and ”Elder Zhu,” respectively. .

Elder Zhu is nothing special, but this ”Elder Xie” has a deadly poison, and like He Laoqi, also bears a Monster Pattern.

Mo Hua couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

”The Monster Pattern... why does it resemble the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons so much...”

”Could it be that some of the Golden Core Elders in the Demon Sect, are actually Monster cultivators who formed Golden Cores in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons and then ’smuggled’ out over the past few hundred years?”

The more Mo Hua thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

However, whether they originated from the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons or the Demon Sect, those who should die must die, and Mo Hua didn’t care much.

He gathered the information on ”Elder Xie” and ”Elder Zhu,” and then passed them to Gu Changhuai.

Then Mo Hua acted as a ”hands-off manager.”

After all, he only provided intelligence and a few suggestions, the specifics of how to kill were up to the Taoist Court.

If they managed to kill, he’d get the Divine Marrow.

If they couldn’t, there was nothing he could do.

Fortunately, things went relatively smoothly afterward.

The extermination of the Demon Sect was led by the Taoist Court, and the Qianxue Court Tribunal dared not slack off.

And Gu Changhuai and Xia Canonical Official were themselves highly cultivated, borne of family heritage, experienced, and both ”workaholics,” chasing Demon Cultivators tirelessly. 𝘳₳ɴǑ𐌱Ε𝙨

Adding to them an ”eagerly progressing” Fan Jin.

Half a month later, those two Golden Core Demons were successively captured, besieged by the Taoist Court, severely injured, and finally executed on the spot by Gu Changhuai using the Five Elements Map.

Sitting comfortably, Mo Hua thus ”effortlessly” harvested two more Divine Remains.

The Taoist Court’s plan went well.

But the Demon Sect, as a result, was in an uproar.

In just over a month, three Golden Core Elders died!

Three Golden Core Elders!

For the Demon Sect, this was undoubtedly an enormous loss that severely dampened the morale and vitality of the sect.

The key issue was, they still didn’t understand how these three Golden Core Elders died.

The Demon Sect always operated in secrecy; how was it possible for three Golden Core Realm Great Demon cultivators to have their traces precisely located by the Taoist Court, caught slipping, and surrounded and killed without being noticed?

All considered, only the term ”insider” came to mind.

So within the Demon Sect, unexpectedly but not surprisingly, they began a ”major purge.”

The Demon Sect started thoroughly investigating from within to find out who betrayed the Sect, leaked information, and caused the deaths of the three Elders.

As long as thorough investigation was conducted, strictly speaking, no one could be ”innocent.”

Regardless of what the crime was.

Several Demon Cultivation Disciples were interrogated under severe torture, subjected to harsh punishment, even dismembered, cut by sword and blade.

Even among the Golden Core Realm Demon Elders, one died in this purge.

It seemed he was involved in an affair with the top-grade ”concubine” reared by another highly respected Golden Core Demon, secretly indulging in blood-sucking. When discovered, he couldn’t defend himself and happened to be framed further by others. Knowing he was in the wrong, he attempted to forcibly flee but was directly killed by the furious Demon Head.

For a while, the Demon Sect was in a state of alarm, everyone terrified.

This development shocked Mo Hua greatly.

He himself hadn’t thought that the human heart could be so easily manipulated...

It even made him feel as if he, like his Uncle, was ”toying with” the human heart.

Of course, he felt he didn’t really do much.

The Demon Sect was suspicious by nature, which could be considered their own doing.

Moreover, these Demon Cultivators had practiced Demon Skills, carrying human lives on their backs; their deaths were not deserving of sympathy.

Mo Hua was happy to watch the drama unfold.

But after observing for a few days, he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

The entire Demon Sect seemed to have suddenly ”quieted down.”

Messages among Demon Cultivators also became scarce, even when there were conversations, they were brief and often used ”jargon,” which seemed very difficult to understand.

Mo Hua frowned.

”Could it be that they’ve... noticed there’s an issue with the Yuan Magnetic Formation of the Demon Sect Token?”

For some time afterwards, it remained so, with Demon Cultivators rarely using the Demon Sect Token for communication.

Even when they did, what was said was very cryptic.

Some statements were full of errors, which Mo Hua could see at a glance were fabricated. Clearly, they were intentionally spread to deceive ”outsiders.”

But while they could fool ”outsiders,” they couldn’t fool Mo Hua.

Mo Hua had overheard too much information; regarding internal matters of the Demon Sect, he was now possibly more ”knowledgeable” than most Demon Cultivation Disciples.

However, the Demon Sect was too cautious, and for now, he couldn’t get any useful information.

”It’s a bit troublesome...”

Mo Hua thought for a moment, decided to stabilize things first, avoid the limelight temporarily, and quietly observe the changes for a while before acting.

He took out the Letter Token and sent a message to Gu Changhuai: ”Uncle Gu, the situation has changed, the Demon Sect is too cautious, and it’s temporarily difficult to obtain intelligence.”
